Hank turns 4 months old

Sweet baby Hank has turned 4 months old!  I wish I could tell you he was sleeping through the night now.  Oh, that would be glorious.  But unfortunately his sleeping has gotten even worse the last few weeks.  He's also been fussier than his old usual self.  I feel like it could all be because he's teething.  He just chews on my shoulder until he falls asleep.  But I have no idea.  If he is, I hope those teeth come in soon!

He has finally gotten a little bit better at tummy time.  He can actually lift his head up enough to look around!

He is quite a bit bigger than Jack was as a baby.  He weighed 17 lbs 2 oz at his 4 month check up.  He's 85% for weight, and 60% for height.  He is already wearing the summer wardrobe that Jack wore the summer Jack turned one year old.  I'm happy that works out for now.  I won't be thrilled if they're ever wearing the same size at the same time and I need twice as many clothes.

We have finally made some break throughs with bath time.  He has tolerated his last two without any crying.  One bath time he was so tense that he stiffened his whole body and couldn't even actually sit inside his tub.  He just balanced on his toes and his shoulder blades in one stiff line.

He continues to give us some smiles and giggles.  I think he sounds like Wheezy the Penguin sometimes when he laughs.  It is so cute.

He loves to chew on blankets and burp rags and washcloths and his stuffed puppy.

His favorite toy is a little crab rattle we all call crabbers.

He likes when Matt carries him around in the Baby Bjorn.

He has still never sucked on a bottle or pacifier for even a second.  I'm thinking getting him to take a bottle is never going to happen.

He is definitely better in his car seat when we're in the car, but because of my back I just leave the car seat in the car and carry him to and from the car.  It's so much easier.  

And Hank is still quite patient with his brother and sister.  Although he will let out an irritated yelp when it gets to that point.  

And here's a series of shots that depicts how Jack likes to interact with Hank.  First he feels love and affection and is oh so gentle.

But then he gets curious.  So he checks out his ear.

And head.

Then he wonders what would happen if he screamed in his face.

 Or squished his cheeks.

But, then, when Hank finally does cry, he tries to console him by gently laying his head against him while saying, "Awwww."

And Hank is usually left looking like this.

We love Hank!
